1-Octene (Alpha Olefin C8)

1-Octene, a clear water-white, mobile liquid, is produced by Ineos Oligomers by using a modified Ziegler ethylene chain growth technology. The product is 99+% olefinic. Applications 1-Octene undergoes all typical alpha olefin reactions. It can be used as a comonomer in polyolefins and as an intermediate in the production of oxo alcohols, synthetic fatty acids, octyl mercaptans, amines, organo aluminum compounds, and hydrogenated oligomers.

Typical properties will vary within specification limits.

Transportation Mode 1-Octene is stored and shipped under a nitrogen blanket. It is not corrosive to steel or aluminum. Contact with air or oxygen should be avoided because alpha olefins are sensitive to moisture and auto-oxidation which form impurities that can interface with subsequent reactions. Alpha olefins should be handled under a dry, inert gas atmosphere. As with all hydrocarbons, alpha olefins can form explosive mixtures with air or oxygen in certain concentrations. 1-Octene is available in rail tank cars, tank trailers, marine vessels and isotanks. 1-Octene is available in drums on special order.
